Welsh based four-piece The Alarm was famous in the ’80s for catchy, anthemic, protest songs, along with some of the hugest hair of the decade. Thirty-odd years later, the hair is less huge and the band is understandably less biting. Lead vocalist and guitarist Mike Peters has added his wife, Jules, on keyboards and taken a firmly more optimistic outlook on life as a cancer survivor. So it’s not surprising that the first track released from Equals is the flighty “Beautiful,” an ode to living in the moment; that theme continues in the less danceable, more thoughtful “Two Rivers,” which more directly grapples with mortality.
‘Beautiful’ is the first single to be taken from The Alarm’s new album ‘Equals’ – their first album of new material in 8 years!
